Curaçao Orders Its Crypto Casinos to Screen Wallets and Ban Mixers, With Full Compliance Due in 2027
The Curaçao Gaming Authority has issued its first detailed crypto rulebook for licensed online operators, mandating blockchain analytics, wallet segregation and an immediate ban on mixers – with a phased deadline that runs to mid-2027. The Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) has handed its licensed online operators their first detailed crypto rulebook, setting out how casinos and sportsbooks must handle digital-asset deposits, wagering, withdrawals and treasury management. Effective June 2026, the guideline – which the CGA’s marketing and PR advisor Aideen Shortt shared publicly on LinkedIn – applies to every group entity that touches crypto and aligns the island’s licensees with global anti-money-laundering standards. That is a notable shift for the jurisdiction that hosts a large share of the world’s crypto casinos.
